Why is it important?
This study is vital for developing high-sensitivity sensors for specific sugars. It proves that suppression depends on steric effects and solvent interactions, not just acidity, overcoming a major challenge in molecular detection.
Perspectives
This research enables specific sensor design by proving that steric effects and solvent dynamics drive ESPT suppression. Future studies using IR and DFT will further refine these models for high-sensitivity molecular detection.
